Freeware means that a program or system is available without charge for an unlimited amount of time. This is in contrast to commercial software, where you must pay to get the software, or shareware, where you may have a trial period of a certain amount of time or have features removed.

Freeware is software that is totally free. The author (provider) does not charge a user to use the software. Shareware is similar. You can use the software free for a time, bu…t then the author requests payment.

The term Freeware has no clear definition, but it is generally used for software , which is available free of cost and which allows copying and further distribution, but not m…odification and whose source code is not available.

Someone writes a program that other uses might find useful. They accept, that they own no rights to that program but allow it to be used by whoever wants to without any lega…l limitation's. If you use it, you do so at your own risk, but in general, most freeware software is bonafide, good, and in some cases brilliant software.
